Bill Gates's Twitter account promoted a Bitcoin scam to his 51.5 million followers just a hour ago. The tweet, since deleted , is a common scam that encourages user to send a small amount of bitcoin ro an account with promise of getting a larger amount back- only no BTC ever come back.
Gate's tweet came just moments after Elon Musk's account was likewise hacked. Musk's account made a very similar tweet and pointed user to the same Bitcoin address. That address has since received 5.8 Bitcoin from victim of attack.
Elon musk's official account then replied to Bill Gates , calling him his "brother" likely to attempt to keep the ruse going and convince even more people to part with their Bitcoin.
It's all part of a massive attack taking place throughout Twitter right now. so far, accounts of major crypto exchanges have been hacked, including Binance, coinbase, Gemeni, kucoin and bitfinex. Litecoin founder charlie Lee and Tron ceo Justin syn have also tweeted the same scam, which encourages user to go to a fake website.
Uber and Apple's official twitter accounts have also posted the same scam in the last few minutes.
